“Once you prove that Kubernetes solves one problem, everyone immediately starts solving other problems without you even having to evangelize it.” – Kevin Lynch, Staff Engineer on the Site Reliability Team at Squarespace

“When we’re deploying VMs, we have to build tooling to ensure that a service is spread across racks appropriately and can withstand failure. Kubernetes just does it. If a node goes down, it’s rescheduled immediately and there’s no performance impact.” – Kevin Lynch, Staff Engineer on the Site Reliability Team at Squarespace
